Two Probable Murders.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Two dead bodies were
found in the lake Thursday morning about
II O'Clock, and suspicious circumstances sur
round both. An officer from the Cottage
Grove avenue station saw something floating
on the water at the foot of 25th street. Pro-
curing boat he pulled out to 1t and found
that it was the dead body OF a man about IS
years of age. At the station ragged hole in
the left breast was discovered, showing
where large-si1ed bullet had entered and
passed directly through the heart. From all
appearances he had been in the water
about four days. There was nothing on him
to give a clew as to his name. He had 60
cents In money slowed away in one Of the
letters. The man wore sandy mustache,
not very heavy, and was dressed in blue
suit Of good material, checked shirt, and
CATERS.
IT, other body was found at ..e foot Of
Harrison street by lad who was out fishing.
His fish-hook caught in the clothing, and
when he pulled the body to tho surface it
was seen to be that Of Eugene Wright, a
colored man who has been missing since
June IS. Wright was 80 years old, and lived
with his mother at sc Fourth avenue. He
was last seen on Tuesday night in company
with another colored man, and it Is thought
he came to his death in some other way than
by accident.

Want the Receiver NO Longer.

one OF its many phases, is being heard by
Justice Harlan, of the Supreme court, and
Judge Gresham Of this circuit The bill Il
an application by the purchasing commit
tee" p7titioning the court to take the Chicago
division of the Wabash system from Receiver
McNulta, on the payment of the full interest
up to date on the Chicago division bonds. The
purchasing committee claim this is all they
are obliged TO pay to get control Of the
branch under 4She decree of the Missouri
court of January, 1855 The holders Of about
$2,0O0,O00 of the Chicago division bonds join
in the application The application was
opposed by the eastern main line boHdhold
ers, on the ground that Humphreys & Tutt
used the earnings OF the eastern lines to pay
obligations OF the purchasing committee in
reducing the charges on the Chicago division
They therefore claim that the purchasing
committee should not be allowed TO take the
Chicago division without refunding these
sums TO Receiver McNultA for the benefit Of
the mainline bondholderS

had shown that Cora Lee arrived
from Kansas City May is, 1855. and hence
she had travelled as Graham's wife, although

THEY'RE STILL FISHING.
Report OF MackereI Fleet In DANGER Of
Capture.

Capture.
HALIFAX, N. S., June 17-f dispatches
from stations along the Cape Breton coast
can be relied upon half the American mack
erel fleet are in imminent danger of being
captured. There are only four cruisers out
among the feet of nearly one hundred Amer
leans. Mackerel are very plentiful, mostly
1n-shore. and, as cruisers are few and far be-
tween, the American shippers, Of course, do
not hesitate to take fish wherever and when
ever they can do so with apparent safety.
The report that American vessels had been
seen taking mackerel close in-shore near
LouiSburg and that trawl had caught 900
quintales of Goldfish with bait obtained from
Magdalene, has had the effect of waking up
the sleepy fishery officers, and they have dis
patched the cruiser Critic to the locality In
hot haste. A report comes from Neil's har.
Dor that twenty American Seiners were Ash
ing in that vicinity yesterday without the
slightest regard to the three-mile limit, and
that two vessels have their seineS within less
than a mile from the shore. Local fishermen
endeavored to ascertain their names and
thus furnish information to the fishing
and customs officials to insure their
capture, but this was baked by the Ameri-
can shippers, who had taken precautions to
carefully conceal the names Of their vessels
by a covering of canvas. The facts how
ever, have been telegraphed to headquarters,
and the fast flagship Acadie left Georgetown
yesterday without making her destination
public. The probabilities are that the Acadie
will skim along the north shore of Cape
Breton and swoop down upon the Yankees
In front, while sailing cutters will cover their
rear.
